Get you a Camo... He's fun as hell, probably one of my favorites.

Ditto that

Camo is the best when me and my son play we always use a Camo/ Drobot or Prism Break combo and we tear the game up.

Only Camo I've seen is in leftover Camo-Warnado-Ignitor three packs at Toys R Us.

I just picked up one of those for my son last week. Luckily we still needed all 3 of those characters.

Refuse to spend 25 for Hot Dog when I already have Zap and don't need the item. Already got suckered into purchasing the Crypt and Pirate ship.

Best bet is to goto TRU and pick them up. Saw a ton of triple pack with Camo, Incinerator, and Warnado and Legendary Stealth Elf. Would pick these up for you but I think S&H + Tax would make this little on the expensive side.

I picked up Thumpback at Target a few days ago. Along with a single pack Shroomboom (finally). So Target has at least thumpback in store.

found thumpback and eye brawl at my local (Durham, NC) best buy this morning, along with the rest of the wave 3 guys, so they're finally showing up there.

Obvious troll is obvious. But, I'll play along. Hang on to your receipt, there are currently over 600 for each them up on Ebay right now and the price is fast approaching retail. They have been out at Gamestop and Walmart for two weeks, and TRU gets in a mass shipment for Friday morning.

Activision learned their lesson from last year. New waves for Giants hit in massive quantities, the scalping market has dwindled down to people that get them before release and people that think a figure that has different color lips is rare and valuable. It has been hilarious watching the hoarders clear the shelf of figures only to show up the next day and they are filled again.

gee whiz i have both of these figures if anyone wants to trade XD

Eyebrawl and Thumpback? I'm interested in them if you want to trade.

Man I totally see not getting into Skylanders now biting me in the ass later. I can totally see the collectibility on this, and the kids playing these games now will definitely want to get all of the figures later. Maybe I should start getting into this as an investment? Plus I've always been interested in the game.

Originally Posted by Flowstance I sold most of them already, but okay. There may be 600 up there, but they are still going for $45ish a piece. As long as I can pay for my 3 figures, I don't mind *only* tripling what I paid.

You must be from SD

If you're considering it, do it. The games are actually unbelievably fun. (I'm a 33 year old father of 5) Don't make the common collectibility mistake of "well, I missed getting in at the beginning so I'm not gonna start now". That leads to 5 years down the road saying, "Well, I had a chance to get in at Giants and I never got around to it".

I got both at target today in NC they had quite a few for sell. I like the collection aspect of it, even though its might expensive on my wallet. People actually do pay decent price on Amazon for them and the old starter kits for the first one. B2G1 50% and they had all of them except ninjina which i'm waiting for. I hate gamestop or I would have already picked up hotdog and zap those are the 2 I have been waiting for. Haven't even opened mine yet

I expect that since I didn't go to Target this morning that I missed the latest shipment. I want these 2, but I don't feel like hunting all over for them. Hopefully they will be easier to find in a few more weeks.

I already sold eye brawl on amazon for $38 and I posted it about an hour ago.

Ok, great, enjoy your windfall. But, don't complain when you can't find a figure later or about the Ebay mark ups. Or about other deals that can't be found because of flippers from SlickDeals. You know, your selfish mindset is the kind of thing that ruins it for everyone.

I've got mine, I got there first, now PAY ME. Then whining when someone else gets there first. It's all fun and games until you pull the short straw. And there are far more short straws than long ones. Karma is like that.

Go to ToysRUs on Friday morning at opening. They will have them. You will pay a dollar more there, but they have an "Event" scheduled.

Thanks, I probably will. Do you know if it'll be limited to 1 figure per person or will I be able to get one of each?
